[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you need to get over this or pick a new name. It won’t just be your mother in law saying it that way.

(I know a Laura who pronounces it larr-a as opposed to lore-a-it’s annoying for her that most people say it her non-preferred way and annoying for everyone else that she makes a big deal out of what are essentially regional variations in pronounciation.) [/quote]

That's like the Andrea/Ahndrea/Ahn-Dray-a thing.  Though your Laura should legally change her name to Lara and then everyone would pronounce it the way she wants.[/quote]

Most of the people I know with the name Lara pronounce it with a short a sound, as in apple. So they pronounce it the same way most Americans pronounce names like Tara, Cara, Farah, Sara.

The PP’s friend would just be trading one pronunciation problem for another if she changed her spelling to Lara.

(I have a friend who spells and pronounces her name the same as PP’s friend. She doesn’t really like the loor-a mispronunciation, but she generally ignores it. Her good friends all say it correctly, and that’s all that matters.)
